In Italy's Lodgings in

 |
| Welcome to In Italy Online! No one knows Italy like we do! We were the Internet's first site about Italy, and with over 4000 pages of information about where to go and what to see, we're also the biggest. Our Italy experts will help you plot the best itinerary, find the lodgings best suited to you, and make sure you get the room you want. Unlike big automated websites, we are human beings and we know the hosts at every single property on our site. We have been friends with most of them for years, and this means that In Italy Online's guests are always VIPs. We will always do our best to get the exact room you want. You will never be downgraded to the worst room in the house (which is pretty standard when you book through those impersonal sites). You will never be sent to a "similar" hotel on the other side of town. And we provide local reps in case you need back-up assistance. When browsing our site, remember that we human beings are here to assist you! Several hundred pages of comments from happy In Italy Online guests attest to this: click here to read just a few of them. And if you're new to our site, please take a few moments to learn how to book with us and why to book with us. |
The
world fell in love with Piedmont during the Winter Olympics of 2006. If you watched a variety of events, you
saw that the region is far more than its capital, Turin. Of course, this is a surprising city in itself: wrongly
overlooked by foreign tourists, it offers stately broad avenues reminiscent of Paris but with the added bonus
of covered sidewalks on either side, to keep off the rain, the snow and the sunshine. Actually, because the
region is nestled below the Alps in the northwestern corner of Italy, and because it was under French domain
for many years, you will find traditions here that may remind you of its neighbor. For instance, you’ll
be served a lot more elaborate meat dishes, and pungent, soft cheeses, washed down with hearty red wines (made
from the same grapes that form the basis for Bordeaux). And when your meal is over, Turin is world-famous
for its chocolates and coffee houses, so it’s also a great place for a post-prandial treat! Pasta also
takes takes second place to rice on Piedmontese tables, and if you drive or train here from Milan, you will
pass many miles of rice fields such as those made famous in the film Bitter Rice. And if it sounds
like we are on a decidedly culinary route through this region, it’s because Piedmont is a gastronome’s
paradise. This is the home of the world’s best truffles, and its hills are lined with the most beautiful
vineyards in the country, in our opinion. Nestled among those hills are many delightful hill towns that have
escaped the renown (and thus the crowds) of some others farther to the south. Piedmont is definitely worth
a visit, especially in the fall!
